DENVER (KDVR) — Each year, U.S. News and World Report releases a report ranking each state on several factors. In the most recent report, Colorado made a top 10 list — for most dangerous states.

On Thursday, U.S. News and World Report released the “10 Most Dangerous States in America” list. Each of the 50 states was judged on violent crimes and property crime rates.

Colorado was recognized as the third most dangerous state, largely in part because of its property crime rate.

The report pulled violent and property crime numbers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crime Data Explorer. It is important to note that the data only runs through 2022, so the numbers are from that year.

Per the report, Colorado has a violent crime rate of 492 per 100,000 people. That number appears to be about average among other states that made the top 10 list.

I moved to Arkansas from California, and I feel much safer here.

I’m in NW Arkansas. I’ve heard Little Rick is much worse.

However, I’ve never seen anyone shooting up drugs or dedicating in public like in California.

Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo to the locals) is so dangerous the police refuse to go there!

St. Pete didn’t make the list.

Why? We are all armed and the gangs just kill each other.

But don’t come here. We have Florida man and alligators.

Oddly rural Colorado is incredibly safe. Rural Colorado is conservative.

The nickname for the ER in Denver is "The Gun and Knife Club".

Rocky Mountain High, far out, man!

“Denver is a hell hole. My friend lives in Fort Collins and is over run with folks from California.”

The coastal people moved in and their criminals have followed. They’re busy paving over my town now and building more Starbucks.

Take the Memphis numbers away from Tennessee and see where the numbers are.

No surprise here. Pervert Polis turned it into sanctuary state and that breeds contempt for the law. Everybody figures, “If foreign invaders are above the law, so am I.”
